this person is training their brown swiss cow to draw its self-portrait in the snow.

this person is photographing highway 10 between forest junction and brillion with a 5x7 burke and james camera. the final print will be an artifact of a performance since the artist was stark naked while making the exposure.

here's a project for those times when you have a pair of lanky supermodels hanging around your place looking for something to do. just drive the 1949 nash down to the poplar thicket and have them build a tensegrity wig-wam right over it. the airflyte form makes this super-easy for beginners. here the massage is clearly the medium, since these folks have seen the marina abramovic documentary and know they have to be naked to make this Art. they insist on wearing their special shoes though, which they absolutely need to stand properly.

these folks made an evil-eye-sculpture out of an old rubber raft and some wooden crutches.

this person created a sound piece that uses a big cable tensioned by a rolling tractor.  the cable is being played in two sections, divided by the sawhorse, with large hammers. a whole note and its flat. it sounds fantastic in the metal shed where the cable is anchored.

this person is making a giant dough ball. they poured a big bag of flour into a cement mixer with some yeast and dumped it over the hose. the water trickles through, warmed by the sun, allowing good rising action. after a couple of sunny days this will bake this into a sort of bread. it's a great way to feed "undesirable" wild creatures. gulls, rats, feral hogs.






we made a new rock video about dough that features julie on vocals.

this gets in your personal space a bit. make a fencing-mask-thing out of window screen and paint a self-portrait on it. then wear it as a  mask.

this is a fertility goddess/phallus that you can make out of rocks and old tires. the tires cut down on the amount of mortar you have to use and give this more horizontal emphasis.

this person is working on a sound piece in collaboration with a couple of sheep. they're being motivated by the flash of a 1949 nash hubcap, which reminds them of their grain bucket, but confuses them. and i think we all know that when sheep get confused (as they often do) they get noisy. the human singer is channeling annabella from bow wow wow (get wild in the country). oddly the first ewe we had when i was a kid was named annabelle.

these folks are doing a choreographed dance where they create a 7000 eichen sculpture while moving to the groove of sonne statt reagan.

this is a piece where you store some corn in a 1949 nash. we're planning to make this one at the Kohler this fall. too bad i won't look as good as this he/she beast when i'm shoveling the corn.

this person is making a portrait with a wisner 12x20 camera set up with a vintage wollensak lens in the original pneumatic shutter. just a stupid picture, no big idea here. you know there isn't anything that gets these blotchy blob artists more p.o.'d-off than when you call them "conceptual". it's Art because they do it in the raw, man! freak frick'in figural, the Real Art. no artforum dinky-do bullcrap here.

here's an easy-to-throw-together idea for an elvis shrine. we all should be making these, even though this thing is most silly and kitsch, to keep the memory of the king alive. this person just took an elvis mccormack whiskey decanter and siliconed it into the bottom half of a junked two-piece toilet. then stuck some rocks around it for a monumentality factor. you could do almost anything that has been done to honor the holy mother mary but just substitute elvis instead.

to make this you need to plant a garden of sunflowers and other hardy bloomers and wrap as many holiday lights as you get can around it. tell folks it's for Goddess Love Day.
